Me and my friends bike got reversed into outside a pub. Fortunatley we caught the guy and seemed like a decent enough bloke. He admitted liability and we exchanged details etc.

When I rang up my insurance to notify they asked about my CBT expiry. I thought it was expiring in June, but I was wrong. I'm doing DAS this Summer so wasn't looking to renew it, although guess I got no choice now.

Anyway, although I wasn't riding the motorcycle and it was parked could this come back and bite me in the arse do you think? Rolling Eyes

If he admitted liability then surely it doesn't even matter if you're uninsured? You're claiming off of his insurance.

As for the CBT, I don't believe that they can just say "your CBT expired, no cover for you" once you have your certificate.

Probably best for someone who knows more than me to expand though. I'm just basically trying to say that I don't think that you'll have any problems.

wouldn't your insurance be void without a CBT as you're ridiing otherwise than in accordance with a licence.

Don't get caught up in a discussion of who may or may not have been riding it. Your property has been damaged by some ignorant mong, he's paying for it, that's it. No more talky-talk.

IF he admits liability then its straight forward enough.....however, admitting responsibility at the time doesnt necessarily mean he will to his insurer. In that case, your license status may be of more interest to them.

Mind you, its difficult to see how his insurer could try and wriggle out of this one so i think you'll be alright.

obviously the bike had been parked up for three days there.
